Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an upbeat human obsessed with making those around me happier. Except when I’m writing, then everyone can leave me the hell alone! Ha!
I’ve written two books, both part of a trilogy. Only one is published but the other is currently being edited.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
RAY OF LIGHT. I had a dream…. no seriously. I had this weird dream where a bunch of friends stumbled upon this vault-like object. One of them stepped inside, and when she stepped back out a few seconds later her friends told them her she had been in there for half an hour.
This dream plagued me for weeks. I wondered why they were there, what happened next. And so the book was born.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know if this is unusual but I tend to leave it until I haven’t got much time, then I pump out as many words as I can in a short amount of time. I like the pressure I guess.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I started reading a bunch of books that I believed had a similar feel to the one I was writing (you know, to see if I was doing it right). Books like Divergent, Delirium, A Thousand Skies Above You, Spark. They all stuck with me, and while my style is vastly different I do like the odd comparison.
What are you working on now?
Harbour of Light. The second book in the series. Editing editing editing.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook. I just like to keep it real and have fun with it. Not too salesy, more personal.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I am a new author, and if I were to give myself advice it would be to stay determined, to know your end goal.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To just write. It’s obvious and simple, but it’s easy to get distracted and be a procrastinator.
What are you reading now?
Configured by Jenetta Penner.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Many more books.
I’m going to finish the current trilogy this year. Then I’m on to the next trilogy, about Elementals (with a difference).
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Ones on my TBR list that I haven’t read before.
